Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a basic problem and shouldn’t take any time at all!

So first you take 17 and divide it by 3.

Your answer should be somewhere along the lines of 5.6666666667.

Now you can’t have 5.666666666667 bags so round up.

Robert will only need 6 sacks.
